Sounds to me like an opamp isn´t functioning correctly. They tend to create a lot of noise if going bad.

It's a high end hiss, like you'd expect from a channel strip gain being too high on a mixer. Seems like a bad signal/noise ratio in the output, if you know what I mean.

I have a really noisy couple in my possession at the moment, and unfortunately interference with the fx board isn't the issue for me. One has been re-capped recently too, so I'm striking that off the list.
